We were able to check out the building during the day on Friday afternoon and investigate later that evening. If I find anything anomalous in my recordings or photos/video, I’ll be sure to update Paranormal Life.. I’m a pretty skeptical person. I take people’s experiences with a grain of salt, because most tend to exaggerate their claims and make it scarier than it really is. That is why my experience really leaves me scratching my head. Our hostess for the night (a local female gunslinger) said she had experienced the spirits in the building, and I noticed in my night vision camera that her eyes seemed to be more buggy at night and the only thing I could think of was that someone was going to be possessed by the end of the evening. I really shouldn’t have even thought that to myself!

As we started on the second floor, another investigator said she felt something “zap” her like static electricity. It made her jump and stand away from me. She felt it was coming between the two of us. So far, there’s been no photo or video evidence of anything touching her. As we were on the third floor, in one of the rooms, I “heard” a woman sobbing. It wasn’t audible; it was like it was in my head. And the sobbing continued for several minutes. I mentioned it and two other investigators said they had also sensed or heard the crying. The word “mistress” also came through to me.

There is a room with a work bench and many tools. I was standing near the bench during a spirit box session. I honestly can’t remember the session too much because a few minutes into the session, I started to feel extremely dizzy. I was seeing three and four of everything, and even when I closed my eyes, the room felt like it was spinning. I honestly felt drunk or extremely drugged, similar to the feeling of coming down from anesthesia. I couldn’t stand up straight - I had to grab onto the table so that I wouldn’t fall down. After about 20 minutes (but what seemed like an eternity), I had to excuse myself and go downstairs. I walked outside for a bit to calm down and ground myself.

After I cooled off, I went back upstairs where everyone had gathered to play period music. I sat on the floor up against a wall and closed my eyes, listening to the music. After about two minutes, I fell asleep with my recorder sitting on my leg. When I awoke, about twenty-seven minutes had gone by. I knew I was completely wiped out from my experience. As of now, it is unknown who the sobbing woman may have been or if I was experiencing an event in her life.

I have never felt something like

that before! I know that we were at a

higher elevation than what I’m used to,

and I had more coffee than I normally

drink, but the feeling of seeing double

and quadruple of what’s there was just

highly unusual. A former team member

had mentioned on a few occasions

about how she felt like something was

trying to get in her head. I wonder if

this is what happened to me. I’d rather

not experience that sensation again;

otherwise, I’d better make sure there’s

a fainting couch nearby!
